TTC 35+ Thread 2 Cougar And Silver Fox Club

[Loladoodle]

New thread for you ladies. Let’s bring on the Bfps!!

@M4v3r1ck your new room sounds amazing!

@Lynnysong good luck with testing keeping everything crossed for you!

Good morning all, hope everyone is doing great.

@Matilda19 your room sounds great, would love a picture when it all finished 🙂

@MrsTtobe I am doing great thank you, just enjoying life, doing my exercise and calorie count. Some days I do better than others. Yesterday I didn't eat well at all 🙈. Trying to maintain a 1200 daily calorie intake.
More importantly, how are you doing? Sending you lots of positive energy 🙏🏽

🤞🏾 Crossed for us all. 🙏🏽

Bfn on frer and cheapie 😢 11 DPO and feeling sick again

@claireb707 sorry you got a BFN. You are 11dpo it's early still. Based on MN , most people get a BFP up to a week after a missed period. 🤞🏾 Crossed for you. Don't be too hard on yourself. Try waiting for a missed period.
Your symptoms sound promising though 🤞🏾🤞🏾 Sending positive energy 🙏🏽

Thanks @Happyhappy37 that's what I'm trying to tell myself and what I told partner. He seemed sad when I told him but when I said some women don't get a +ve till 2 weeks after period was due he then said why test now then...

That one I couldn't answer 😢😩

@claireb707 sorry your feeling down. Remember it's still really early and your date of ovulation is only ever an estimate. Everyone produces HCG at different rates so until AF shows up try to stay positive (not easy I know!
I'm struggling with DH and energy levels. We agreed every other day once in FW (so twice so far) but will try and get an extra BD in once I get static smiley face 😁
Hormones are so powerful- I was almost at the point of antidepressants in the years between DD and getting the Mirena. Had counselling and then realised I was severely anaemic and my low moods were probably linked to PMS. Getting the coil really seemed to stabilise it all- and it's been noticeable that my PMS is worse now I've had it removed. Trying to combat it with natural remedies/vits and exercise. 🤞🏻
Have a lovely weekend all. CD 11 here so expecting ov this week.

*you're 🙈

1200 calorie intake though 😩I wouldn't survive on that...

@Happyhappy37 yes il share photos.. We have had some time with kiddies so although i think were 3dpo im not sure so we dtd lots.... No kids in house hasnt been option for months xx

Morning everyone 🙂 Hope you're all doing ok!

Sorry about your bfn @claireb707 Keep positively thinking though!

I'm thinking 🤔 of trying a soft cup this month. Apparently they force the sperm upwards. Worth a try I guess...

Any recommendations for make?

@Matilda19 I absolutely love that light!😍 you got good taste!! Want to design my room! X

@Matilda19 that's really pretty, my sister has a Moroccan flavour in her living room, I really like it. :)

@selina37 I've no idea how to use one of those, I'd be scared I couldn't get it back out lol. Although I think the idea is sound.

@Chlo2701 thanks we had the best holiday ever to morocco so wanted to use that theme for new bedroom

@Lynnysong thanks i love it.. Got big lanterns and small ones lovely tiled bits to use

Baby dust to all. Il try anything to help make a sticky bean xx

@claireb707 aw big hugs keep positive still got chance till af arrives x

@claireb707 that's early to test so you still have a chance fx x

I'm glad I upped the cream a little when I noticed the stats coming down. I read that this happened to another lady and she actually had a bfp, so you never know. :)

Going to ask a clinic in London to put me on a waiting list for a donor egg today. I'm a bit nervous about it. I wonder if my sperm donor would help with that.

I need to see if there is anywhere else that does it. That clinic is quite positive about older ladies though.

@selina37 I have a Ferti Lily (there's a link on page 1). I bought it last month. It's easy to use and the reviews are excellent.

@matilda19 that looks gorgeous

@Lynnysong I sincerely hope that you get your heart desire. You are truly amazing. A real warrior in the Amazon jungle of life 👊🏽👊🏽
Sending you lots of positive energy and lots of baby dust 😊🙏🏽🤞🏾

@Happyhappy37 you are wonderful, thank you so much. Temp was up this morning but I feel cramps just now like af is coming, 11dpo. This is tmi, but it feels like it's flowing but it isn't, slightly confused lol

@Matilda19 I love that light! What a great theme, can't wait to see more pics!

@Lynnysong You're an inspiration, sending all the baby dust your way, it's so true what others have said, you really really deserve your FBP. Everything crossed!

@Sleeeeeepy thank you just picking wall colours now.. Very excited

Hope your well xx

Ladies can i ask a question

So tried using easy at home ovulation sticks

Question is what's the level needed to peak at for hope of ovulation xz

@M4v3r1ck you're the same DPO as me, how you feeling today? My skin has gone really oily today😣
@FridaKFangirl how are you feeling too?
Also ladies, when I see people that have got BFP's most of them say how wet they've felt down below in the TWW, well I'm pretty bloody dry so I'm taking it that's maybe not a good sign🤦‍♀️ you noticed any different about your CM @M4v3r1ck ? X

Hi @Matilda19 I enclosed my peak opk this month on what it should look like x

Having a pretty crap weekend this weekend. Feel like I’m never going to be pregnant. I’m god knows how many days DPO due to my PCOS and feeling extremely hormonal. More signs of AF are occurring and I did so much this month to make it happen and catch the egg. Used preseed, DTD every other Day, tracked ovulation which was extremely confusing as I kept getting peaks and now I’m just exhausted on CD 31. To topple it had a blazing row with DH which I blame myself for because I think it’s just getting to me.

I’ve been endlessly googling Whether it’s remotely possible to get pregnant at 37 and google does not help - just find so many pessimistic articles.
I am desperate, depressed and have no idea what to do. I only want to help others yet now I’m finding it quite painful to see women happy with children. I have not had a chance yet to be a mother and I am aimlessly blaming myself as I should have tried faster and earlier in low.

Sorry guys just want to vent and it helps talking to those in my position. I want to fast track to IVF now even though my clinic wants me to trial tamoxifen for a month for a more natural pregnancy.
